Inspection Report Summary for Friendship Care Home
Friendship Care Home, a 740‑type residential care facility in Antioch, was the subject of a series of unannounced inspections in June and July 2022. The initial pre‑licensing visit on June 16 revealed several immediate health‑ and safety‑related deficiencies. The food service system was unable to meet residents’ nutritional needs, with insufficient perishable and non‑perishable supplies in the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. Staffing levels were below the agency’s minimum requirements, creating an acute risk for resident care, especially for a resident who needed one‑on‑one assistance. Maintenance issues included peeling laminated flooring, deteriorating bathroom surfaces, broken blinds, and a room temperature that averaged 82 °F—far above the recommended 75 °F. COVID‑19 protocols were also lacking; the screening station was missing a touch‑temperature probe, hand sanitizer, and visitor logs, and seven residents were observed not wearing masks despite the administrator’s request. Additionally, the facility had failed to submit a required incident report (LIC 624) for four COVID‑positive residents on June 3, a reporting lapse that triggered a separate deficiency notice. The licensing program analyst issued Type A and Type B deficiency notices, with correction deadlines of July 16 and June 24, respectively, and a final follow‑up inspection was scheduled.
In the weeks that followed, the facility underwent a change of ownership, prompting a new unannounced pre‑licensing inspection on July 8. This visit, conducted by the same licensing analyst, found the home ready for licensure. All previously cited deficiencies—food service, staffing, maintenance, and COVID control measures—had been addressed; the facility had adequate lighting, temperature control, and a complete infection control plan. Fire, safety, and medication storage complied with state requirements, and no new deficiencies were recorded. The licensing analyst confirmed that the application was ready for final review by the Central Applications Branch, and a formal review would determine whether the facility could be licensed.
The pattern of findings indicates that while Friendship Care Home initially struggled to meet regulatory standards, particularly in food service, staffing, facility maintenance, and COVID reporting, the change of ownership appeared to catalyze corrective action. The July inspection’s clean bill of health suggests that the facility was able to remedy its earlier lapses, though ongoing vigilance will be required to maintain compliance and ensure resident safety.
